We saw a few goblins tonight, fewer than last year though. It's probably because our neighborhood doesn't have many children living in it. But despite the lack of trick-or-treaters, we still like to get in the Halloween spirit by putting up decorations and we always carve pumpkins every year. We are still using the carving templates we used years ago when our girls used to go trick-or-treating! One of my favorite parts is cleaning the pumpkin seeds and cooking them!
When I was a young girl in Hingham, Massachusetts, I remember on Halloween that my brother, Tommy and I would walk through the cemetery to get "spooked". I also remember carrying UNICEF boxes with us as we went door-to-door trick-or-treating. Mark and I were trying to remember if we got them through school or church; we think it was through school.
Glad we got to Web cam briefly tonight with Zoe and Ezra to see them in their costumes! Too bad Ezra is sick though. (Zoe just got over it.) They probably won't be out too long.
Looks like our weather is about to change again. We still have a little bit of snow left on the ground and it looks like tomorrow night we'll see more of the white stuff...another 40 degree drop in temperature is expected! And, we may have more snow this coming weekend!
